Oh, come to think of it, I did get that error once with the Feb14th 
snapshot, after about 1500 runs.  But my latter attempt ran for over 
10,000 so I didn't mention it.  And I've never seen it since.

And I'm still running the CVS with sleep 1, and it's > 1000 iterations 
without any problems.  I will run it overnight tonight just for kicks.
